Before she became The Oprah Winfrey, and a successful American actress, talk show host, producer and philanthropist, this inspirational woman won the title of Miss Black Tennessee 1971 at the age of 17 and went on to compete in Miss Black America 1971. This trailblazer has inspired millions of people all over the world and is continuing to do so. She was the first African American multi-Billionaire. Having nominated for many notable awards Oprah is truly a woman of substance.
To honour such an impeccable and generous woman Madame Tussauds created their first wax statue of Oprah Winfrey in 1994 in Chicago, USA. Besides that her wax figures have been displayed in London, Las Vegas, Amsterdam, Washington DC and Bangkok.
